STAND FOR ELECTRIC HEATERS AND IRONS.

To all whom it may imam:

Be it known that we, ROBERT PRESTON MoonIE and CHARLES "WARREN BALL,subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Ottawa, in the countyof Carleton, Province of Ottawa, Canada have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Stands for Electric Heaters and Irons, of whichthe following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in stands for electric heaters andirons, as described in the present specification and illustrated by theaccompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement ofparts, whereby a stand adapted to support an electric heater is equallyadapted, when reversed, to hold an electric sad iron.

The objects of the invention are to provide a simple, new and economicalstand for use in combination with an electric iron.

In the drawings Figure 1is a side elevation of the stand. Fig. 2. is aplan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3. is a bottom view of the stand. Fig. 4. is arear end elevation. Fig. 5. is an isometrical view of the stand adaptedto an electric heater. Fig. 6. is a side elevation adapted to anelectric sad-iron.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings; A is a sadiron shaped plate supported on oneside, at the rear and front ends by the legs BB and bo, and providedwith the central aperture O, through which the handle of the reversediron extends, as shown in Fig. 5. D-D are standards or legs on the otherside of the plate A, at the rear ends thereof, provided with integraland shorter inner branches EE, adapted to support, and, in combinationwith said standards D-D, to hold the iron above the plate A, as shown inFig. 5. F. is the other leg or standard, having the shoulder G, adaptedto support the nose of the iron in its reversed position.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressingthe Commissioner of Patents Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. November 24, 1909.

Serial N 0. 529,755.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that, while the legs BB' andbb, in one position of the plate, act as guards or holders for an iron,they, on the plate being reversed, act as legs for supporting same. The.former acting legs DD and F, in combination with the branches EE and theshoulder G, then uniting to support and hold the reversed iron in such amanner that it can be conveniently used as a heater.

The advantages of this construction of the stand are evident, enablingthe article to be used with equally satisfactory results, for twopurposes.

Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction maybe resorted to, without departing from the min ciple or sacrificing theadvantages of this invention.

What we claim for our invention is A reversible stand for electric ironsand heaters comprising a single apertured plate, formed with legs at theend corners and a leg at each side near the front, and having affiXedthereon branching side-standards and a shouldered front-standard; saidlegs adapted to support said plate carrying an inverted sad-iron on saidstandards, and on said plate being reversed, said legs adapted to fitaround said iron in an upright position upon said plate; said standardsbeing adapted to hold and support said iron in an inverted position, asa heater, a distance above said plate and, on said plate being reversed,adapted to act as legs for said plate carrying an iron in an uprightposition.

In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses, at the city of Ottawa, Province ofOntario, Canada.
